[H]eart

1. Young people. I love teens. My favorite age group. I love that they are in the learning phase and that there is so much to share with them. They can drive you nuts but they just want to be accepted and loved and I can do that.

2. I love reading my bible and devotional and learn. I love sharing that with others or doing it alongside others to encourage each other.

3. I love to go to leadership conferences. I love the Global Leadership Summit. I love missions. I love Missionaries.

Teens!!! Every day of the week…TEENS! I love younger people too…like school-age kids. Summer Recreation type people. 🙂

Human Trafficking is a huge part of what I support
Missions is highly lacking in this survey. Missions are God’s heartbeat.

Abuse/violence
At-risk children
Other – Missions

Your Primary was ‘The Beaver’, with your Secondary coming in as ‘The Retriever’, and here are the descriptions of your Personalities, and how they can be used for God

Beaver- Organized. Beavers think that there is a right way to do everything and they want to do it exactly that way. Beaver personalities are very creative. They desire to solve everything. Desire to take their time and do it right. Beavers do not like sudden changes. They need reassurance.

Strength: High standards, order, respect
Weakness: Unrealistic expectations of self & others, too perfect.
Limitation: Seeing the optimistic side of things, expressing flexibility

Golden Retriever- Good at making friends. Very loyal. Retriever personalities do not like big changes. They look for security. Can be very sensitive. Very caring. Has deep relationships, but usually only a couple of close friends. Wants to be loved by everyone. Looks for appreciation. Works best in a limited situation with a steady work pattern.

Strength: Accommodating, calm, affirming
Weakness: Indecisive, indifferent, unable to express emotional, too soft on other people
Limitation: Seeing the need to be more assertive, holding others accountable

[E]xperience

I have been in a church building my whole life. Sometimes I thought I lived there…freely roamed around like I owned the place. My great uncle was my first pastor. Most of my relatives went to church with me. I didn’t know anything different. At age 5 my Sunday school teacher asked if we wanted to ask Jesus into our lives and I said yes. As I aged my faith evolved and took more and more ownership in it as my own faith and not the faith of family or others. People beliving in me and investing in praying for me for sure played a big role in how my life has turned out and how I came to know my need for a savior.

Wrapping It Up

The Challenge: Based upon your S.H.A.P.E. Assessment above (the way God wired you), If you knew you couldn’t fail … and ‘lack of money, or time’ was not an obstacle… list your Top 3 Things you would ‘Focus’ your Life on, next to #1 Loving God & #2 Loving Your Neighbor (these would be your ‘3 God-Sized Dreams’ for your life)?

1. My Relationship with GOD

2. My Relationship with Others

• Putting Your Spouse First
• Your Kids Second
• Everyone Else After those

3. to fearlessly verbalize every time God called me to speak and take those opportunities and not hold back.

4. To listen and hear from God and let the Holy Spirit work in my life for the goal of the eternity of others. None should parish.

5. To write books about my dogs and take them to schools, hospitals, etc., to bless people and have a chance to get to know people and witness to them.
